Outside Hawkins Pool

It's pouring rain and everyone at Hawkins pool is leaving. They have their sweaters and towels covering their faces, some have umbrellas. Some kids are playing in the rain, some are getting into their cars with their parents. Y/N, Max, And El left Max's house to return the missing lifeguards fanny-pack and go to the front desk. Max is wearing a yellow raincoat, El is wearing a red one, and Y/N are wearing a blue one.

(stop playing the music)

"excuse me" Max says to the Hawkins Pool manager politely.

The manager is reading a Magazine next to another employee who is drinking 'cherry coke'.

"No one in the water until 30 minutes after the last strike. And don't try and argue with me. You wanna get electrocuted go climb a tree." The Manager says in a bored tone without even looking at me, El, and Max.

We all look at the manager confused and awkwardly. 

"Yeah, we don't care. We're not here to swim. Or get electrocuted.." Max says in a "duh" tone.

I hand El the fanny-pack and she holds it up.

"we found this." El says wondering if it belongs to anyone. 

The Manager finally looks up at them and raises an eyebrow. The employee takes a sip of her cherry coke.

"Does that belong to anybody?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah. That's heathers. I'll get it back to her." The manager says suspiciously smirking. 

"We, could give it back to her." El says looking at Max and I, then at the Manager. 

"You could, 'Cept she's not here. Bailed on me today." 

We all look at each other worried.

"What is this? You girls want a reward or somethin'?" The manager says with no expression on his face.

"No." I say to the manger.

"We're just...Good samaritans." Max says smiling at the manger. 

The employee smiles at us and I look at the bulletin board behind me. Max stops smiling and gives the employee a weird look. 

The board has photos of the lifeguards who work here.

(start at 1:04)

There's a picture of heather. I tap El and we all walk over to the board. I stare at it for a few seconds, then look at El. 

"Heather.. do you think you can find her?" Max says looking at the photo.

I glance at the Hawkins Pool Manager and the employee and see that they are just talking and looking at magazines. 

"They aren't looking." I say to Max.

El rips the photo of heather off the bulletin board. We all walk to the showers and Max and I start to turn on all of them. As we are doing that, El takes goggles from the supply room and puts tape over them; creating darkness. El puts the photo of Heather in front of her and sits on the floor. As she's about to put on the goggles I put my hand on her leg.

"El" I say slightly whispering.

"yes?" She says looking at me.

"Be careful." I say seriously then smiling.

"Y/N, Don't worry. I'll be okay." El says smiling back then putting her hand on my hand.

El puts on the goggles and goes into the void.

In the Void

El see's a white mailbox with the address number: 1438. El looks at it confused and starts to walk towards it. When she gets closer she can see that it has raindrops on it, she then places her hand on the mailbox. A red door starts to fade into the void. El looks at the door with her hand still placed on the mailbox.

"What do you see? Tell Max and I." I say to El telepathically.

"I see a door. A red door." El tells max and I.

El walks towards the door and slowly opens it to see a bathtub on the other side. She starts to walk to the bathtub slowly and see's ice. 

(stop playing music and play the song below)

She walks closer. Heather jumps out of the bathtub full of ice, scaring El. 

"Help me." Heather says as her voice is echoed. 

Heather gets dragged into the bathtub. El screams from fear as the bathtub disappears. El falls to the ground and see's heather go underwater. 

"HEATHER!" El screams reaching for her hand as she goes under. 

Heather is reaching for El's hand as she screams. El is underwater now also screaming. 

<<•••>>

Out of the void

El takes the goggles off as fast as possible as her nose starts to bleed.

"El!" I say in fear.

"El, What happened!?" Max says to El.

She starts hyperventilating and looks at Max. Max puts her hand on El's shoulder worried, she then looks at me. I look at El scared and hug her. El pulls herself out of the hug and puts her hands on her head.

"El it's ok. Calm down. We're Here." I say soothingly.

Outside Hawkins Lab

It's raining hard and there's a sign on the ground covered in leaves that says "No Trespassing: Government Property."  Joyce is in Hoppers car driving to the Hawkins Lab entrance. They stop the car and get out. Hopper goes to the trunk with Joyce and pull out long cutting pliers and flashlights. They go up to an abandoned entrance and Hopper cuts the chains. Hopper and Joyce open the doors to see a big empty abandoned room.

"Hello? Anybody home? We come in peace." Hopper yells out.

Joyce is looking around with her flashlight until she sees the place where Bob died. She has a memory from when Bob was attacked by the demodogs and starts to remember the things that happened in the lab.

"Joyce? You okay?" Hopper says pointing his flashlight at her.

Joyce snaps out of her trans.

"I'm fine." Joyce says knowing she isn't.

"Do you want to wait in the car?" Hopper says a bit confused.

"I said I'm fine" Joyce says as she starts walking towards Hop.

They both start to walk towards the other side of the room which connects to another room. The only thing they don't know is that the camera's in the lab are still being used.

Starcourt Mall

Dustin and Steve are still sitting behind a plant looking for "evil Russians". Dustin keeps looking around for one until he spots a man with blonde hair, sunglasses, and a duffel bag. All of the characteristics Dustin was telling Steve a Russian would look like.

"Target aquired." Dustin says still looking in the binoculars.

"Where?" Steve says looking around.

"Ten o'clock. Sam Goodies." Dustin says.

"Give me that" Steve says taking the binoculars and looking at the "Russian".

"Shit. Duffel bag." Steve mumbles.

"Evil Russian." Steve and Dustin say at the same time looking at each other.

Steve and Dustin start running up the  escalator, and start following the "Russian".

"Slow down" Dustin says trying to follow Steve.

"We're loosing him." Steve says following the man.

"You're getting too close" Dustin says.

"Watch it dickwad!" A guy says to Steve after he pushed him.

The Russian looks behind him suspiciously and Steve and Dustin pretend they are doing something. Dustin pretends he's on the phone and Steve pretends he's looking at books.

"Hello, yes, I am fine. How are you?" Dustin says pretending he's talking to someone.

Steve taps Dustin as they start to follow the man again. They are now behind a sign that has a map of StarCourt, looking at the Russian.

The man goes into the dance studio "Jazzercise" and puts down the duffel bag on a table.

"Alright everyone, listen up! I have one question for you. Who..." The "Russian" says taking off his sunglasses.

"...Is ready to sweat?" The man says turning on the boombox as all the women start to laugh and stretch.

Steve and Dustin look at the man and now see that he is the dance instructor. They look at the class with a "wtf" face.

"Let's start it nice and easy now! Yeah! Yeah ladies, let's warm it up!" The instructor says taking off his jacket to reveal a pink tank top.

"Move your hips! Feel that burnnn." The man says moving his body in a circular motion.

One of the women is moving her hips in circular motion and Steve looks at her with his mouth open, while Dustin is still so confused.

Inside Scoops Ahoy

"The week is long, the silver cat feeds, when blue meets yellow in the west, a trip to China sounds nice if you tread lightly." Robin reads out from her notepad while sipping a drink; being analytical. "tread lightly?" She mumbles while flipping through the pages of the translation book.

Robin, still trying to figure the code out, hears knocking coming from behind her. She hops from out of the other side of the employee room to a door that leads out to other places in StarCourt; she see's a man with a delivery.

"Delivery for you." the man says softly.

"Thank you." Robin says signing the clipboard.

Robin glances at the mans outfit, for his job, then stares at his hat for a few seconds. The man notices she's being a little odd. His hat reads out 'Lynx', his outfit reads out 'Lynx Cooperation'

"Have a nice day." The man says taking back the clipboard.

"Yeah you too." Robin says still caught up in the moment.

The man starts to walk down the big hallway with other packages. Robin looks at the back of his uniform and sees a silver cat.

<<•••>> 

Outside Scoops Ahoy

"Silver Cat. Silver Cat." Robin says slightly relived and finally finds out what the code means.

Steve and Dustin start walking into the entrance to Scoops Ahoy after the disappointing evil Russian investigation.

"Hey Robin, you're not going to believe what Dustin thought was a Russian." Steve says in a bored tone. 

"You did too!" Dustin said in an arguable manner.

"No I did no-" Steve says back to Dustin annoyed; knowing it's true. Robin rushes past them with her notebook. The boys look back at Robin confused'; She's running through StarCourt, which seemed to them crazily. 

Robin climbs onto the the main StarCourt sitting area looking for more clues about the code. 

"A trip to China sounds nice." She says looking for something relative to the first sentence.

"A trip to China sounds nice. A trip to China sounds nice. A trip to China sounds nice." Robin repeats out of breath looking all over the Mall.

"A trip to China sounds nice." She says looking at the Chinese Restaurant 'Imperial Panda".

Robin looks back at her notepad finding the next sentence to the code. "If you tread lightly."

"If you tread. If you tread." She says looking at all the places in the Mall.

Robin gasps. "If you tread lightly." She says looking at 'Kaufman Shoes'.

"When, When, Blue and Yellow meet in the West." Robin says looking around once more.

"When Blue meets Yellow-" She looks at the Big Clock in StarCourt; the clock reads 9:45, the clock is located in the West, The clocks hour hand is blue, and the clocks minute hand is yellow. "In the west!" Robin says amazed.

"Robin." Steve says with Dustin Beside him. "What are you doing?" Steve says irritated.

"I cracked it." Robin says hoping Steve would know what she means.

"Cracked what?" Steve says unknowingly.

Robin hops off the sitting area in glory looking Steve straight in the eye. "I cracked the code."
